Danger....Beach Closed

Here's is my latest Karin Jurick Different Strokes painting. The photo provided was a fun beach scene. As you can see on Karin's blog everyone interpreted it differently. The gal with the boogie board look sad to me, so I gave her a reason to be sad.

I need your help. My ’57 Chevy painting (see previous post) has been entered in a watercolor competition sponsored by American Artist magazine. The winners are selected by the public. If you like the painting please go to the link below and vote for me. Voting ends April 15th. Thanks :-}
